I FACULTY Pleasantness is a trait which is prevalent among pupils at West High, in MISS GEDDES' opinion. A She thinks that the functional use ot writing and reading in every- day problems is a current trend in English classes. Accent on living 7' is the theme ot modern English classes, says MISS HOLLEM, who likes the friendliness of the stu- dents at West High. Beggar's Opera, by Iohn Gay, is one of the stage plays she likes best. MISS OBYE believes that West High pupils are friendly, courteous, and co- operative. She lgts The Second Mfs.TTanqueray, with Ethel Barrymore, and Our Town, with Frank Craven, as two ot the best stage plays she has ever seen. Max Rein- hardt's production of Midsummer Night's Dream is cho- sen by MISS PEAHSON as one of her favorite stage per- formances. She notes as a modern trend in schools the attempt to make all English courses more practical. Cour- tesy, according to MRS. VINCENT, is a common charac- teristic of West High pupils. She has noticed that English teachers now instruct the students in application ot prin- ciples of general semantics to reading, Writing, speaking, and listening. MISS WEINSCHENK appreciates the cour- tesy and consideration shown her by her students. Ricard of Bordeaux, starring Dennis King, and Cyrano de Ber- gerac, with Walter Hampden, are considered by her as two outstanding productions on the stage. 21 Senior English students interested in trying out for the annual Iunior Town Meeting assembly are lack Crandall, Delores Strong. Veronica Bunk, and Peter Gioppo. Students shown dramatizing a scene from one of the plays read in English VII classes are Margretta Gleichman, Delores Buratti, and Bill Boyer. KATHARINE H.
